    My ETEC HO Stinks

    At least that is what I am going to be saying if I keep hearing "two more weeks". Anyone else getting frustrated? It wouldn't be so bad for my personal pro staff motor, but I have three sold to customers and they are chewing on me quite regularly now. Just needing to vent!!!

    I have been hearing it since November, but the last time was 2 weeks ago, they said realisticly looking about the end of March, but who knows.

    My dealer is feeling your pain. They had to loan me a new 225 DI until my HO comes in. They hope bomb will give them a break on the motor as a demo.

    Saw my first Ho on a Z21 this weekend, Brad you might want to raise a little stink, it was sold by David Fritts Outdoors, heard he was several in stock but they are not on his website. Think he got his before everyone b/c he is a pro???

    Brad, we are in the same boat, customers waiting and asking When Will it ship.

    I have a 250 E-Tec one of My Pro Staff guys ordered and he does not want to run because he is waiting on his HO.

    Re: My ETEC HO Stinks (RUSTY63)

    Not only are my customers upset, I have my first customer appreciation day coming up on March 19, as it looks now, I won't be able to demo my z21/ho combo for the customers. However, I did talk to buddy at the Ranger plant. He assured me that if my motor had not arrived, that if I'd make the trip to the plant that they could come up with a z boat with an ho to run for the day. May have to do that it's only 160 miles to the plant.

    Sounds like a plan.

    Still waiting on mine why can't they just tell us the truth and say it will ship on April 1? I thought the motor was tested for two years until they were going to release them to the public, now why all the testing for the H.O.? I'm almost tempted to go with the E-tech 250 instead of the H.O., but I heard it won't perform as well. VENTING!
